Great Class
This was a great class for a first-time exposure to formal training on Scrum. Robb is an engaging and entertaining presenter with examples and stories. You can tell he has real-world experience and context to supplement the slides.

This is a great class with an excellent structure. I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning about being a Professional Scrum Master.

Epic class
Epic class. Robb brings multiple disciplines together into a crazy pot of Scrum synergism. I want to take this class again and again because, even though I've been a scrum master for 2 years, he exposed me to new ideas and rigid thinking that I didn't know I had. I will be a better scrum master.
I took the PSM1 test a day after the class finished and got a 95%. My colleague in the same class got a 94%...and he took it the same evening class finished. But I want to restate that this is so much more than a test prep class. It's subtly powerful magic and Robb is an adept and pragmatic teacher.

I've been working on agile teams since the early 2000s - this class was very well presented and made me understand how Scrum has changed.

Most engaging virtual class ever!
I thoroughly enjoyed learning about SCRUM from Robb. His teaching style is very engaging and thought provoking. I attended the class virtually and the frequent break-out sessions and activities really helped to solidify my understanding of SCRUM. A great class, I will recommend it to the rest of my colleagues.

Remember the "cool" teacher you had in high school? The one where it was so much fun to be in his class that you actually learned stuff because of how fun the class was? That is what you will get with Robb!
Robb is an amazing and very charismatic trainer. Highly recommended.
He will also take extra time to answer any questions you might have.

Engaging, Personable, Thorough
Robert was engaging and very personal during this class. I enjoyed the exercises in which we were provided with opportunities to learn how to think like a Scrum Master and overall be a better leader. I loved that the class was small and allowed me to meet other people from different backgrounds who were also got interested in Scrum. His follow up resources were rigorous and thorough and generous! Thank you so much Robert, and I look forward to continuing maintaining the connection via meet-ups and events wherever possible!

Lots of fun and very educational
Lots of fun and very educational. I had walked in with a lot of misconceptions from agile coaches, and it was good to be brought back to center. The interaction was good as well.

The whole course experience was incredible. Between the personalized pre-checks to ensure the course would go smoothly to the content of the course, to the engaging and open atmosphere that was fostered by Robert, it was fantastic. I think the virtual experience of it all also helped elevate the experience, since we were able to more easily interact with so many different peers via the breakrooms throughout the two days.
Craig
Excellent PSPO class
Excellent PSPO class! Rob is a very engaging and knowledgeable instructor. The class was interactive. The small group exercises were thought-provoking and relevant. I was well prepared for the PSPO I assessment.

Great Class
This class was truly beneficial in my desire to gain more understanding of the requirements of a Scrum Master. I would attend classes by these instructors again.
Rick Jones
Lots of Fun, Great Learning, Highly Recommend
Really loved the class. Learned a lot and how Scrum will work and why it possibly wont work for my team. Great group of people with lots of different perspectives which is always fun. Some of the learning was a little rushed especially on the last day. Would have loved to have spent more time really drilling into some of the concepts more. Overall, highly recommend.
claire kirkpatrick
Verry good class.
It was a very good class. Really liked the instructors. A lot of content for 2 days. In a non-covid environment I think the length of the class is fine, since the members can have further discussions during breaks/after class. Since I was familiar with the concepts, the class length was fine. However, it may have been difficult had I not had prior knowledge. Overall though, I would recommend this class and the instructors.
Sarah Wilbanks
Relevant and engaging
Relevant and engaging, even though we were all remote. Robb knows the space and breaks it down in a way that makes it easily relatable and useful.

Handled his first remote session very well considering it had never been done before.
Daniel Bennett
PSM Training - My formal exposure to Scrum
As someone who was relatively green to Scrum prior to attendance. I must say the class was informative and Robert Pieper is a great instructor.
Terence Bennett Sr
Highly Recommended Course
Both instructors/trainers were very knowledgeable. They knew how to make the class interesting and informative at the same time. I would highly suggest this class if you’re just starting out with Scrum or even if you have experience with it. It could be a great refresher course if it’s the latter.
Scott Nickell
Product Owner Class Success
Instructor Robert was great at helping the class with our concerns and explaining the Product Owner knowledge. Highly recommend Responsive Advisors as a supporting network for PO success!

PSM1 Review
This course is excellent for both new Scrum Masters and those with experience. It offers and in-depth review of the Scrum Guide with practical applications and group exercises to reinforce the concepts. The small number of participants is excellent for sharing personal stories and ensuring everyone has a chance to participate. Rob Pieper (instructor) is well-versed in his knowledge and experience with Scrum and provided plenty of his own experiences. He encouraged participation and kept the group engaged. Overall this was an excellent course.
Dianne Ostroske
I (a SM) attended with my PO and we both learned a lot about the product side of things
My class had a lot of questions and was very interactive, which meant we had to gloss over some of the less important information, which I still would have like to discussed in more detail. The time-box for the class was rigidly adhered to and I felt we weren't able to cover as much as I would have liked to have covered. But it was helpful to dive deeper and get burning questions finally answered.
Cheryl Lacy
Excellent training with Robert
Excellent training with Robert. A lot of misunderstanding about the scrum framework was discussed and corrected. I am looking forward to getting more certifications from the Response Advisors.
Dhruv Patel
Great course
Great course. Very applicable and knowledgeable course instructor
Craig Titterton
Chicago 2019 Polar Vortex Class
I would recommend this Professional Scrum Master course to anyone. Robert Pieper is a very capable instructor who is able to simplify Scrum theory by blending course content with personal work experience. His teaching style is collaborative and visual. You can tell he is passionate about the framework and is more than willing to answer every question his students have. Not to mention, he still held our class despite Chicago's 2019 polar vortex, with record low temps, those same days. Take the course, you won't regret it!
Jonathan
Highly Recommend even if you scrum currently
I've been using the scrum framework with my team for the past three years but I learn a lot of ways to improve and be more agile during our development sprints. Robert's class was great and engaging and I'd recommend attending.
Steve F
Excellent
Very informative. Knowledgeable trainer. Small class size and face-to-face training. Excellent at pointing out misconceptions and making SCRUM real.
Doralie Lapre
Solidified scrum understanding
Course was great for diving deeper into concepts I had skimmed. I enjoyed the instruction and flow of the trainings.
